Our Ultrafuse® portfolio now offers high-speed printing filaments compatible with selected printers, and Forward AM is continuously expanding our compatibility across the board. And as a soluble support structure, our Ultrafuse® materials allow far greater design freedom in the manufacturing of complex 3D geometries with Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).

Time and time again, our high-speed filaments continue to exceed performance expectations with:

• Breakthrough Speeds: Experience printing at unprecedented speeds, dramatically reducing production times.
• Unmatched Quality: Our filaments are engineered to maintain exceptional quality, even at high speeds.
• Broad Compatibility: Initially available for selected printer models, we’re actively working on extending our compatibility range.
• Innovative Profiles: Developed with precision, our profiles ensure optimal performance across various printing conditions.

In the past, printing speeds for desktop class 3D printers rarely surpassed the 80 mm/s mark. Typical configurations for bead width and layer height did not allow for printing above 6 mm³/s volumetric flow. Now with the recent emergence of high-speed-printers in this market segment, opportunities to achieve these high speeds are within reach.

BASF Forward AM, the leading model material supplier and Xioneer, the leading soluble support material supplier, have joined forces to bring high-speed-printing with their materials to desktop printers. Utilizing the Raise3D Pro3 Hyper FFF® system, several model-support combinations were validated for printing speeds up to 300 mm/s at a flow rate of up to 30 mm³/s, which is 5 times the throughput of previous 3D printing systems.

Further material combinations are currently being investigated, particularly for the model-support interface. It should be noted that these speeds are impossible to realize with any support material other than VXL due to loss of adhesion at high speeds. The use of soluble supports is paramount to achieve the freedom of design for your parts in order to streamline your production by reducing manual labor. These innovative materials and cutting-edge printing technologies are taking companies from rapid prototyping to real additive manufacturing by utilizing this new dimension of throughput.
